The IBM Selectric is considered to be one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. I repair and refurbish these iconic machines to prime condition so others can use them and enjoy the Selectric "touch" that is beloved by so many.

Here's another great IBM Selectric II in Classic Blue that I just finished refurbishing. It has been fully reconditioned with a chemical wash, necessary parts replacement, synthetic oil and grease lubrication, adjustments checked and returned to factory specs and refinished in the original color of IBM Classic Blue.

It has a 15" platen, Error Correction and the wonderful Selectric
"touch" keyboard that everyone loves. It is a Dual-pitch (10 and 12 cpi)
typewriter that uses any of the elements for a Selectric I or II (88
character elements).

New sound reduction foam installed for quiet operation. I have
basically remanufactured every aspect of this machine, inside and out.
It looks and functions just like new.

About Me

I love mechanical things and have tinkered with manual and electric typewriters since my teens. I have always been fascinated by the IBM Selectric, but it was later in life that I finally got my hands on one to explore. I learned to repair/restore them and suddenly I have several of them.
